The Wireless Repeater receives data from any DavisTalk™ compatible trans-
mitter and re-transmits it to any DavisTalk™ compatible receiver. The repeater 
extends the transmission range and improves reception between the transmit-
ter and the receiver. 
Each repeater has a transmitting and receiving range of between 100' to 1500' 
(30 to 450 m) depending upon the terrain. The repeater can listen for up to 8 
different transmitter signals and can pass those signals on to another repeater 
or to any number of receivers. 
Note: The Wireless Repeater operates on a low power frequency that does not require an FCC license.
The repeater’s flexibility allows you to put together your weather system in a 
number of different ways. The most common setup is to install the repeater in 
between a transmitter and a receiver to improve reception. Another possibility 
is to install a chain of up to 8 repeaters to carry the transmitter’s signal over a 
longer distance, or around obstacles. And a third option is to establish a         
network of weather stations by linking the chain of repeaters to up to 8 different 
wireless stations.
This manual describes three different setup options in separate sections based 
on how many repeaters and transmitters you plan to install. 
The first section, 
“Single T
ransmitter
, Single Repeater Installation
” on page 
3, 
discusses the most common and simplest installation—that of one transmitter, 
one repeater and one or more receivers. 
The second section, 
“Daisy-Chain Installation (Multiple Repeaters)
” on page 
10, 
discusses daisy
-chaining up to 8 repeaters in succession to increase the range 
between a single transmitter and one or more receivers. 
And the third section, 
“Network Installation (Multiple T
ransmitters)
” on page 
12, 
discusses setting up a complex network of transmitters, repeaters, and receivers.
These setup instructions apply whether you have a solar-powered or an       
AC-powered repeater.
